Every diet that I went on that had an end date – whether that was a goal weight or an event or a time frame (especially the radical, really satisfying ones) – was a testament to the fact that I took a really long time to get with the fact that (forever) I wasn’t gong to be able to have all the things I wanted to eat, when I wanted to eat them and in the quantity I wanted to eat them and still maintain a weight I could live with. That was really the big one. After that, all my energy went into figuring out how I could make that easier to do.
